Notice to Property Owner for Owner-Builder Permits

Changes in State Law (Assembly Bill No. 2335) Regarding
"Owner-Builder" Permits

Due to a change by the Contractors State Licensing Board (CSLB) regarding Owner-Builder permits, the City of Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS) will modify the permit issuing process to comply with State Assembly Bill (AB) No. 2335. Beginning January 2, 2009, a “Notification to Property Owner” with an “Owner’s Acknowledgment Verification of Information” form will have to be completed by the building owner for all Owner-Builder permits. The building owner will have to read and initial each statement to signify that he/she understands and verifies the information noted and signs at the end of the form. The form must be collected by the permit issuing staff for microfilming, after executing (initialed and signed) by the owner prior to issuing the permit.
